The posting

Overview of the Role

DFC is currently recruiting for our 2027 Summer Placement positions.

As part of our long-term growth strategy, we offer a number of summer placements each year to students interested in fire safety engineering.

We are seeking students to join our team of over 50 skilled fire engineers. During your placement, you will be involved in live projects at the concept, design, and construction stages.

DFC prides itself on the continuing investment, training, and development of our team. Throughout your placement, you will receive guidance and support to help develop your understanding of fire safety engineering.

DFC believes that inclusive and diverse teams make better decisions. DFC proactively strives to maintain a team of individuals who bring new perspectives and backgrounds whilst empowering individuals and recognising talents.

Suitability

To thrive in this role, you should have the following qualifications, attributes, and skills:

  • Currently studying towards a master’s or bachelor’s degree in a relevant STEM (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) field, with at least one academic year remaining after completing the placement.
  • An ongoing interest in the developing fire engineering industry.
  • The ability to solve problems, enable the new, and question the ‘norm’.
  • The ability to work collaboratively with colleagues and other stakeholders.
  • The willingness to learn, develop, and respond positively to feedback.
  • The ability to adapt, multitask, and take pride in one’s work.
  • The ability to converse technically in English with precision and clarity.

What We Offer

We don’t believe in unpaid internships, so we are pleased to offer a competitive placement package consisting of:

  • Competitive pro rata salary plus relevant expenses.
  • Individual IT package including a company laptop for use during the placement.
  • Social events and team CPD (Continuing Professional Development) offerings.

Summer placements typically last for six weeks. However, slight increases to this duration may be considered on request.

How to Apply

If you are interested in applying for a summer placement opportunity at DFC, the following information is required:

  • CV.
  • Cover letter (please don’t send us the same cover letter that you send everyone – we want to feel special).
  • Academic transcript (please ensure this is an official document from your university showing your most recent grades).
  • Evidence to prove your right to work in the UK during the summer placement.

Any offer of a summer placement will be conditional upon DFC verifying your eligibility to work in the UK for the duration of the placement.

Please complete the application form on the following page. If you have any problems uploading the above information, please contact us at [email protected].

Timelines

Applications are open now and will be accepted until 29 January 2027.

Applications received after this date will not be considered.

Specific dates are flexible, but candidates should be available for at least six consecutive weeks in June, July, and/or August 2027.

Further Information

You can find out more about the experiences of our 2026 summer placement students Aasiyah, Dario, Dylan, and Cherice through a series of blog posts reflecting on their time at DFC.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
